From the very first class, we were struck not just by the quality of the martial arts instruction, but by the deep sense of respect and discipline that forms the foundation of everything Mr. B does. He lead by example -- teaching more than punches and kicks; the studio teaches life skills. What truly sets this studio apart is how much Mr. B cares. Every student is treated with patience, encouragement, and individual attention. They celebrate effort and growth, not just achievement. It's a place where kids and adults learn to believe in themselves, push through challenges, and show kindness to others. Our child has grown immensely in confidence, focus, and self-respect since starting here. We're so grateful to be part of this community -- one that genuinely lives the values it teaches. Our family couldn't speak more highly of the studio and the community there.

Mr.B (owner and head instructor) is wonderful in all aspects and has taught my daughter so much in terms of both life and karate skills, discipline, and respect. He is able to achieve all of these things while still providing a very loving and positive environment. I have previously recommended the school to others and will continue to do so in the future.

Green lights, gold medals, and lots of fun!…read more I have two kids whose only real sport is karate--the karate purists--not that they haven't tried anything else but they simply prefer karate. Karate fits their aptitudes and attitudes. They came to Johnny Gyro Karate at advanced levels. My teen son had a first degree junior black belt for almost three years and my pre-teen daughter was a fresh red-black belt. They both wanted more in their karate journeys--more karate techniques, more karate culture and more of the karate nuance in between. By community reputation and publicly available online information, Johnny Gyro Karate is the only active Tang Soo Do school in Conejo Valley area that has genuinely structured advanced curriculum with current students progressing through black belt degree advancements. After keeping my kids here for over a year, I can verify that this studio consistently delivers top caliber teaching which yield high quality karate students, adults and children alike, at all levels. Who are the instructors? Mr. Johnny Gyro( TSD rank 9th degree) and his beloved wife Mrs. Noel Gyro( TSD rank 7th). Check out their unparalleled credentials on their website. People say the Gyros are "super nice", and we completely agree. They treat everybody with the same love and respect and give every student the same attention in class. What stands out even more is their humility -- despite their decades of experience and accomplishments, they do not seek to make themselves the center of attention. They are two lifelong black belt martial artists who live and breathe karate since they found it. They chose to make an honest living through operating a karate studio. They have always prioritized karate teaching over profit. Maximizing each student's martial arts potential is their goal. The Gyros's range, depth, and wisdom carry their students a long way. Mr. Gyro comes from a time when sparring without gear was a norm and when tournaments focused more on quality martial arts VS. performance&affiliation. Each trophy displayed in the studio tells a great story. My kids are incredibly honored and proud to learn martial arts from such a legend. Mrs. Gyro teaches some classes and takes care of the management. I remember reaching out to JGK on a Saturday afternoon and not expecting reply until Monday or Tuesday. But Mrs. Gyro replied me within two hours with every single question answered in details, and she even answered my doubts that I couldn't put in words. That's just the level of communication she has. I also love how she keeps everything in perfect order! So, how is the karate? In addition to teaching TSD traditional forms and etiquette diligently, Mr. Gyro incorporates several styles of martial arts into his curriculum and created many one-steps, three-steps, kicking defenses and self defense techniques. These are proven to be practical, effective and visually delightful. Mr. Gyro guides students to understand martial arts and not just practice it. The students here are dedicated , enthusiastic and make rank advancement at their own pace. Belt progression is never the end goal, but it is definitely a good measurement for growth. My daughter earned her first degree black belt in half a year, and my son earned his second degree black belt in a little over a year. It is important to mention JGK's black belt tests are highly rigorous. It takes exceptional skills, consistent dedicated training, and lots of courage to pass. My kids take about 4-6 classes each in a week and practice on their own at home. That beautiful certificate is hard earned! Same thing with karate tournaments. Mr. Gyro has advised his students " you are in competition with yourself all the time." My kids work hard to make improvements and have both got to the golds in multiple tournaments after being guided by Mr. Gyro. Johnny Gyro Karate is welcoming, safe, productive, positive and overall immensely rewarding. We recommend this karate studio to all who want to start or continue with their karate training.

I was so impressed that I eventually signed up myself, and I haven't looked back since! ​What makes this studio unique: ​Direct Instruction: Every class is taught by Hanshi John Gyro and Master Noel Gyro. They don't just run the business; they are on the mat connecting with every student, from Pee-Wees to seniors, regardless of skill level or limitations. ​World-Class Pedigree: Hanshi John is a 9th Degree Black Belt and IFKA Hall of Famer with over 44 years of experience. His background in Tang Soo Do, Boxing, and Hapkido ensures you get a truly well-rounded education in self-defense and situational awareness. ​Community: I've seen youth students build lifelong friendships here, with many returning to train even after college. It's a culture of respect, confidence, and excellence. ​If you want to get in great shape, learn to protect your family, and train under a legend of the martial arts world, there is no other place in the Conejo Valley I'd recommend.

I've watched them not only grow in physical strength, balance, and athleticism, but also in confidence and respect for themselves and others. Every week my kids can't wait to go to martial arts class and see what new skills they will learn. Master Ryan is an amazing instructor who really cares about all his students. He brings knowledge, patience, and humor to his martial arts training, and the classes are equal parts fun and educational. Master Ryan fosters a safe and encouraging environment, which in turn enables the students to thrive and support each other. And he has an excellent group of black belts, including Mister Will and Miss Allison, who he has trained to be outstanding instructors as well. All Star Martial Arts has been a great asset not only to my kids, but to the entire Oak Park Community. We look forward to continuing our martial arts journey with Master Ryan, his staff, and all the wonderful members of the All Star family.

Both kids love coming here (and the class is hard, but in a good way, they are learning so much). My son had no physical fitness for years before and Master Bloom encouraged and inspired him to hang in there. He also has issues relating to his autism that just weren't an issue here because he's treated with respect and understanding. The whole class is very positive and encouraging of one another, and respectful of my son. For a mom with a teen with autism, this is a big deal. I've watched Master Bloom teach adults, teens and little kids (sometimes we get there early and the kids class is still in session) -- he's really a gem. He treats everyone with respect, young and old, and is very big on positive reinforcement, which is so important. He gets it. He commands respect in all the right ways, points out the good things in all of his students, catches them working hard and learning and has exceptional method. The class is high energy, positive vibe and great care is being taken to teach everyone at their level and ability. I feel like my kids are getting top notch training. It's a great place to be a part of.

Is it clean? Is it safe? These were the first two questions my BJJ buddy asked me about Morumbi…read morewhen I told him we were trying it out. He is a brown belt and has plenty of experience at various academies. Those were his critical pass/fail criteria questions. And the answer is emphatically YES to both of them. Our kids were first to join at about 5 and 7 yrs old. The professors and coaches make it very welcoming for new people. They ensure that new students are purposefully placed with other students. And the quality instruction from the professors and coaches is so valuable. Each class is usually started or ended by repeating core values and keys to success in life. Next my wife and I joined. Our dream is to have this be a family affair. I could never have dreamed how well my wife took to it. There is a large group (also close knit group) or women who attend. A couple years ago my wife never heard of BJJ, and now she can't stand to miss a day of jiu jitsu class or the kettlebell class. If you are worried about egos and people just smashing on you, then fear not. Professor Fabio protects the students and his academy from anyone just trying to hurt others. That being said, it is jiu Jitsu and it is designed to be used in real life. But the overall feel is a "family" environment and that is cultivated from the top down. It is a perfect place to learn and grow in BJJ. If you have any questions, be sure to talk to Coco who wears many hats at Morumbi. She is amazing and my kids absolutely love her. We love this academy and all the friendships we've already made. My wife and kids are exponentially growing not only in skill but in confidence, positivity and happiness.

However, that is not the case at all, in order to qualify for a full refund you have to go at least 2x a week for the entire month and have to give a 30 day notice in order to not be charged full price for the 2nd month. Here's the thing, how could you possibly give a 30 day notice before the second month renewal if 30 days prior to that would be the day you first started? How could you possibly know you aren't going to continue there if you are just starting?? They charged me full price for an entire month when my son didn't attend not once. When I pointed out it would have been impossible to give a total 30 days notice they only offered to credit the account for "when my son returns". What makes you think I would go back to an establishment that is robbing people?! Don't go here, the prices are wayyyy overpriced and there are better options available in the area with businesses that don't steal your hard earned money.

Reckless, irresponsible, chauvinist, ableist, and all around coward with the emotional intelligence…read moreof a child. Brought my 4 year old some here and at the time I thought it was a really martial arts studio taught by a real martial artist. Boy was I wrong. I guess anyone can open up a martial arts business and start handing out belts Willy nilly. Not only is Lincoln not actually trained in MMA (which is what he is attempting to teach), but this school isn't affiliated with any official martial arts organizations including any MMA organizations. But don't ask him any questions about why that is, because you will absolutely get your wrist slapped and then your child will inevitably be punished in one form or another. My son was in class grappling with another child, when the other kid knocked my child's TWO front teeth loose. Lincoln's response to this was literally a smile and then NOTHING more. As a former martial artist myself and as a parent, I would expect that he would take both kids aside to address how this happened and what kind of safety precautions they can take in the future to prevent future incidents like this. None of that happened, instead he immediately pushed us into the next age group (in order to separate us from the other family) with no warning or reason, not to mention my son wasn't even the right age for that group yet. Once we were moved to the new group (that just so happened to meet on different days and times as the previous group, completely disrupting our schedules and turning our lives upside down) that's when I really saw this place for the sham and charade that it is. Parents are dropping off their multiple children at 3 and leaving them there unsupervised until 6pm. Children of all ages from 6-17 years old. Complete and total chaos of about 10 - 25 unsupervised children literally running around, throwing things at each other, physically fighting and screaming, VAPING in the bathroom, and so much more, all while a "class" is in session. Lincoln has no interest in enforcing the discipline and respect elements of martial arts in this space and these parents are treating his space like a drop off birthday party. To add insult to injury, my carpooled with a friend's daughter there. She was under my care. She stepped out of class to pee, but didn't lock the door because she's five and was afraid she wouldn't be able to get out. While she was in there a fully grown teenage boy walked in on her, made eye contact, fully saw her, and THEN PROCEEDED TO WALK INTO THE BATHROOM AS OF SHE WASN'T THERE. I immediately got up and told him to get out. When I brought up this issue to Lincoln his response was to tell the kid, and I quote "c'mon dude. You know better than that." And then turned to me and said "she's so little, it's not really a big deal." I probably should have pulled my son right there and then, but I didn't want to take something away from him because the adult teaching it has NO RESPECT for little girls and women's bodies and right to privacy. Lincoln - Thank you for teaching us that we are still second class citizens to chauvinists like you and that we will always need to fight for our rights. But alas, I did not pull my son. It wasn't until the drug dealer problem became more than I could ignore and the safety of my children was now at risk. Since he doesn't offer parking, we have to find parking wherever we can (which is not easy). Many times we had to walk by a drug dealer that was doing his drugs, selling, and getting into very heated altercations with others. This became very scary and when I brought it to Lincoln's attention he brushed it off. I followed up asking him to maybe see if his landlord could possibly offer parking so that we can walk safely with our young children into his business to give him our money. His response to me was to tell me "you have no problem asking questions. You're the only one who complains. You don't have to park there." To which I responded "I actually do have to park there." As I was responding with those words he turned his back to be and waved his hand as if to dismiss me and my concerns. It was an incredibly rude thing to do, and very out of line of what someone modeling respectful behavior should be doing. For me that was the straw that broke the camels back. I WILL NOT have someone that my son looks up to and that I pay disrespecting me, especially in front of my children. Disrespectful, negligent, chauvinist, ableist, and complete and utter fraud as this man doesn't even have a black belt in jujitsu.... Yet somehow he's qualified to hand them out. Maybe I should open up a medical school and start handing out medical degrees... I'm sure I'd make a killing.
